I heard a rumor that to get the improved barking I was hoping for with the R56 brakes I need to swap out the master cylinder. It kind of makes sense...given that the piston in the R56 brakes is bigger, you need more fluid to push it the same distance and the limiting factor in fluid volume is the master cylinder.
Any truth to that?

No..... You do not need to swap the master.

The 2nd Gen GP has a bigger master cylinder to handle the bigger brakes.... But that may be because the change was from 4 going to 6 pistons on the front...

had r56s brakes on mine for awhile; installed by a MINI tech, no master cylinder swap needed
what Snip's says make sense (and I did not know that the new one had 6 piston brakes, hmmm)

I think the R53 could benefit from a larger master with the R56 brakes.
